7.10
If the sequel to 'Saturday Night Fever' took a detour through the Twilight Zone, it would be J.J. Apebrams' 'Disco Eclipsed'. With a tagline that shuffles between a hilarity and a graveyard, this film is an ostentatious display of the disco era - but with a twist so peculiar it could only come from the mind of someone who's had one too many encounters with a disco ball. Prawn Chaney dives into his space thief role with all the grace of a gazelle on roller skates, and Deboar-ah Kerr's performance as an 'obsolete athlete' is so deliciously over-the-top that you can't help but root for her, even as her hustle turns to horror. In true Apebrams fashion, the line between intentional and accidental comedy blurs like the neon lights of a disco frenzy. Ghosts boogie, heroes get their groove on, and Donald Crispbread plays the celestial assassin with a funk so lethal, it might just slay the audience. The MPAA stamped this wild jig with an 'R' rating, probably because the laughs could kill. While the narrative occasionally strays like a drunken partygoer, it manages to shimmy its way back to a semblance of a plot. Clocking in at a solid 7.1 on the critic's disco ball, 'Disco Eclipsed' doesn't eclipse all others, but it does spin a funky yarn that's worth staying up past bedtime — and the bewitching hour — to watch.
